Euro Bumpers

Post by QtheGenius »

I have three European bumpers; two fronts, one rear. The rear and one good front are in good shape, $750 + shipping. The other front has an added reinforcement piece and has some rust. This can be re-chromed with some work, and is $400 each + shipping. Located in San Diego, local pick-up preferred.

Here is the rear piece:

How difficult is it (generally) to retrofit that rear to a late model US car? And is there usually trim that accompanies that style Euro bumper as well?

the rubber side pieces and needed, there is another thread detailing parts to be used: viewtopic.php?t=7430


Parts needed
Front bumper:
- Cental and side parts of the bumper itself, 3 parts of chrome moldings.
- OEM right and left mounting brackets.
- 4 M10 bolts with length about 80 mm and 8 washers to mount bumper euro brackets to subframe.
- New fasteners to assemble the bumper. I don't remember exact details, generally just count what assembled bumper has. In my case I decided to change all fasteners, sometimes it's not necessary.
- Mounting bolts for rubber strips and front spoiler. I am not sure if they are available in places like Brofasco (those bolts have thin quadrant heads). If possible, substitute from other sources. BTW mounting kit for front bumper is available from BMW (51129056465) but I don't remember how complete it was.
- 2 front bumper seals (51111839358). BTW I never installed them...
- 1 Syntetic Strip (51111910327)
- Depending from the rubber parts condition, new center (51111904457) and side strips (51111866407 and 51111866408) might be needed (
- Same goes for the right and left end pieces (51111866409 and 51111866410).

Rear bumper:
- 3 pieces later style rear bumper was used. At some period of time reinforcement bar was welded inside the bumper which make disassemble impossible.
- 2 rear bumper brackets (usually came with bumper).
- Rubber strip (1 piece).
- End right and left caps (51121886607 and 51121886608).
- Clips for rubber strip (51111826894). Available from BMW only. Count amount of holes in the bumper and order some extras.
- New fasteners might be needed for bumper assembly.
- 4 M8 bolts (about 50 mm), washers and nuts to bolt bumper to the car body.
- If you like to keep OEM euro look, rear rubberized filler needed. I didn't used it.
- Some kind of euro rear apron.
